Increasing the size of the term font isn't a solution for the very tiny menu
fonts you get in some applications, e.g. imagemagick. For this reason,
at least on my desktop with a CRT monitor, I use 1280x1024 instead of
1600x1200. There is no obvious degradation of quality, at least to my
worsening eyes. On my laptop this doesn't work well because you get
distortion at any resolution other than the native.
